Embodiment Construction

[0019]The following describes an embodiment of this disclosure with reference to the drawings. It will be understood that the scope of the disclosure is not limited to the described embodiment. A scale of an expressed drawing may be adjusted to explain the embodiment. For example, a part of a drawing is enlarged or stressed as required when it is described.

[0020]Each of the following drawings uses an XYZ coordinate system to describe directions in the drawings. In this XYZ coordinate system, a longitudinal direction of an ultrasonic probe is assumed to be an X-direction (an X-axis) and a plane perpendicular to the X-axis is assumed to be a YZ-plane. On this YZ-plane, a longitudinal direction of a cross-sectional surface (a cross-sectional surface of a base plate described later) of the ultrasonic probe is indicated as a Y-direction (a Y-axis) and a short side direction of the cross-sectional surface of the ultrasonic probe is indicated as a Z-direction (a Z-axis). It is described th...

Abstract

An outer case for an ultrasonic probe that houses a module of the ultrasonic probe is provided. The outer case includes a grip case gripped by a user and a head case that engages with the grip case. The grip case has a first engaging portion where one or a plurality of convex portions are disposed. The head case has a second engaging portion where one or a plurality of depressed portions are disposed at positions where the one or plurality of depressed portions engage with the one or plurality of convex portions. The convex portion and the depressed portion are engaged to be locked.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is based on and claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to Japanese Patent Application No. 2017-187382, filed on Sep. 28, 2017, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]This disclosure relates to an outer case for an ultrasonic probe that houses a module of the ultrasonic probe.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART[0003]An ultrasonic probe (a transducer) is a sensor in which a crystal unit (a piezoelectric element) that transmits and receives an ultrasonic sound wave is embedded. The ultrasonic probe is used in usages, such as medical diagnosis, health care, and non-destructive inspection. The ultrasonic probe includes components, such as the crystal unit (the piezoelectric element), a backing material, an acoustic matching layer, an acoustic lens, and a case that houses these components.[0004]The case for the ultrasonic probe includes a case separated into a grip case gripped by an oper...
